£14.92
Gekkeikan JUNMAI The Superior Japanese Sake is an outstanding premium sake from the traditional Gekkeikan brewery, which has been producing the finest sake using tried and tested methods since 1637. The name Gekkeikan means “laurel wreath” – a symbol of victory – and emphasises the high status of this sake in Japanese culture. As purveyor to the court of the Japanese imperial family, Gekkeikan stands for the highest quality and perfect craftsmanship.
This Junmai sake, made from selected rice, pure water and koji, does not contain any added alcohol and impresses with its natural purity and complex variety of flavours. It offers a harmonious balance of fine sweetness, subtle acidity and rich umami. Thanks to its alcohol content of 14.5% by volume, it unfolds its elegance both slightly chilled, at room temperature and slightly warmed.
Tasting NoteColour: Clear with a slight shimmer.
Nose: Subtle notes of steamed rice, nuts and a hint of flowers.
Flavour: Soft, full-bodied and balanced with nuances of roasted almonds, a gentle spiciness and subtle sweetness.
Finish: Langs, silky and harmonious with a pleasant umami depth.
This Gekkeikan Junmai Sake harmonises perfectly with sushi, sashimi and tempura, but also with grilled fish, roasted poultry or mild cheese variations. It also goes well with rice dishes with fine soya sauce and offers exciting combinations with Italian pasta in creamy sauces. It is also suitable as a base for innovative sake cocktails that bring its complex flavours to life in new ways.
A sake of the highest quality that epitomises Japan’s centuries-old brewing tradition. Perfect for connoisseurs and beginners who want to experience authentic, traditional enjoyment.
